To bidet or not to bidet?

OK, cheesy headline. I know.

I bought a bidet kit from Amazon a few weeks ago and plan to install it today. My hesitation: I didn’t spring for the $400-$500 heated unit. I got the $50 basic one. So the thought of icy cold water in the netherparts is kind of holding me back.

Anyone got experience with this they want to share? Will my bum adjust to the cold spray or will I never want to use it? 😂

The heated units are worth the investment. Warmer water readily rinses everything. You might even try to connect the unit to the sink or shower and use the warmer water that way if it's possible.

@Redbeard I'm glad you like your heated bidet supply. So for you it's a worthwhile investment; but not necessarily for everyone. Needing warm water for 'rinsing everything' is a bit of a joke when most people wipe with dry paper. A room temperature wash is a big improvement, and just fine. You wouldn't want water hot enough to kill bacteria!
